gRPC Request Message Count (istio_request_messages_total)
and Request Count (istio_requests_total)
are having the same labels.
Why can’t we just use istio_requests_total{request_protocol="grpc"}
to get the same thing?
Thanks!!

It’s because one gRPC request can start a long lived connection that stays open, and many messages may travel over that connection. So, you could have 1 request that ends an hour after it starts, with thousands of messages traveling over that connection.
